"Jianguo, do you have any statutes for bringing us here today?"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Secretary Hong Xueqin put forward the purpose of inviting him to dinner.

"Secretary Hong, Uncle Hong, where is the charter for the little nephew, that is, please come and sit and talk. I have been busy for most of the year, and the farm work is almost busy. Now it's all that's left to dig the red ru and the next bit of wheat. I don't usually move around much, so I can relax and have a little wine to have a lively time. Hong Jianguo snorted. In fact, some things have already been said to him, and his old secretary has become a master, saying that it is a major matter, and it can only be decided after discussing with the captain and the captain. Don't you understand what that means?

"Just to make a fuss?" Hong Xueqin asked again.

"Jianguo, if there is anything, just say it directly! They are all from a brigade, and they are fellow villagers, so there is no need to beat around the bush. As long as you can do it, you don't need to shirk. Captain Li spoke very simply.

Captain Wu didn't speak, and it was not good for him to continue to ask questions when the leader asked questions.

Hong Xuecai spoke: "Jianguo, first give Uncle Xueqin, Captain Li and Captain Wu a bar!" ”

Hong Jianguo immediately called for two spoons. In this era, shot glasses were not popularized, and soup spoons were used for toasting in the countryside. Wine fights will be fought with bowls. After a round, Hong Jianguo took 6 spoons, which was almost two taels of white wine.

"Uncle, captain, I really have something to ask of you."

"There's nothing to ask for and not to ask for." Secretary Hong said.

"Alas, you see my old house, a few years ago the earthquake (Songpan earthquake, many wooden houses slanted) almost collapsed. It's broken, I'm worried that one day when I fall asleep, I will suddenly collapse and bury us in it. ”

"Yes, it's an old house!" "It's really tilting!" "In the last earthquake, many houses were damaged to varying degrees."

"Alas, and you see that my second brother has not found a daughter-in-law yet, and the woman will say goodbye as soon as she comes to see home. Look at my house, a small room is mopping at the back of a house, and a small kitchen and pigsty are built outside. One room and one bed, uncle, your three nephews and one granddaughter, will go to school in a blink of an eye, and they may grow up in a blink of an eye. This house is very crowded, and it's not convenient to live in, isn't it? Your nephew and daughter-in-law and I will check it and ask the team and the brigade to approve the homestead considering the actual situation at home. ”

After Hong Jianguo finished speaking, his eyes looked over the faces of Secretary Hong to the captain and the production captain, and he was quite apprehensive. The three "parent officials" also exchanged glances.

"Jianjun, your brother wants to move out and build a house considering your affairs, such a good thing depends on the team, and you also respect your uncle, Captain Li and Captain Wu are a bar!" Hong Xuecai arranged for his second son to go up and fight a wheel war.

To get things done, drink the wine first! It was another lively toast, eating shredded pork with green pepper and braised eel, and it was inevitable to taste it.

"Earth, look at this yellow eel, there are many in the ditches and paddy fields, I didn't think of catching and eating them before, and I always think that it is fishy. How good the roast is in the country, the meat is delicate, the color is heavy, and the taste is delicious. You need to eat more, this thing is a great tonic, and it is good for your body! "Secretary Hong advised the captain to cook.

"Hehe, brother, you can eat too. You see that this tempeh thorny yellow bone tastes very delicious, where did you say that Jianguo caught so many thorny yellow bones of similar size? Li Dadi also introduced a dish in front of him.

"Not to mention, this shredded green pepper meat in Jianguo is more fragrant than the one in the restaurant. This green pepper is so fine, and this shredded meat is fresh and tender. The chef is very skilled! Captain Wu Guigui also said happily.

The guests praised the good food, and the host was naturally happy. As soon as Hong Jianguo was happy, he didn't close the door: "Alas, this is all fried by my unsuccessful son." He didn't go to school all day, so he tinkered with food at home. The level of stir-frying has been practiced! ”

"Your son, how old is he to be in charge?" Captain Wu didn't believe it.

"Call it out, I'll see, which one?" Hong Xueqin also said.

Hong Yan was brought out. When the three of them look at it, isn't it just a child? Quite white, looking like a teenager. Hong Yan generously greeted the three of them. Of course, he does not address them by office, but by generation.

"Secretary Hong, have you heard about the hairy dog last time? Your nephew is not simple, the hairy dog went back to sleep for half a month! Wu Guigui introduced to Secretary Hong. Captain Wu was not present at the time, and heard someone talk about it afterwards.

Hong Xueqin glanced at Hong Yan up and down, and said, "Yes, this small body is indeed strong." I've heard that don't be impulsive in the future, children and adults have conflicts, and it's still children who suffer. Oh, and you've a round coat before? What is a round gown? Ha, the little ghost can still talk about it, I didn't say it. However, I heard the youngest daughter of the Mao Ze family say that you have already pointed out the matter of resuming the college entrance examination? ”

"Come, Archduke, drink first. I will serve you a wine to the elderly, and I wish you good health and good luck with your children and grandchildren! Hong Yan took a spoonful of wine and handed it to Secretary Hong Xueqin.

Hong Xueqin hesitated for a moment, but still took it and asked Hong Xuecai: "What's going on?" Don't the toasters drink? ”

"Brother, are you willing to let your nephew drink? He was only 7 years old. He said that serving wine to the elders' hands is the most respectful and respectful. You heard how good he said, 'good health, children and grandchildren, all the best', drink it quickly! Hong Xuecai said with a smile.

Hong Xueqin smiled "hehe" and "squeaked" down. Hong Yan handed over another spoonful: "Grand Duke, grandson respects you again!" ”

"What do you mean about this?"

"Whether your grandson can live in a new house and marry a granddaughter-in-law depends on you."

"What are you in a hurry? I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, the smell of milk is gone, I want to marry a daughter-in-law, haha! Hong Xueqin laughed loudly, and the wine spilled. I really have to drink this wine. "Another bite." This matter is not the Grand Duke's decision alone, you have to respect the captain and Captain Wu well! ”

"Yes!" Hong Yan puffed out his chest and said.

Captain Li and Captain Wu drank it without hesitation. Hong Yan's mission has been completed and he is about to leave. "Hong Yan, don't you respect your ancestors and princesses?" Captain Wu hurriedly called Hong Yan, who was about to slip away.

"That...... Captain Wu, Grand Duke, Captain, drink slowly, I'll cook you a soup, and then come to honor their ancestors, okay? Hong Yan said, and he didn't allow them to cross the threshold if they agreed.

"Little slippery!" Hong Xueqin scolded with a smile.

After this wine, the matter is settled. Of course, the homestead cannot occupy fertile land, and the place is selected by Hong Jianguo first, and then an application is made to the brigade after it is determined, and after approval, it is reported to the commune for the record and issued with a homestead use certificate. The first place to pick is to ask Mr. Yin and Yang to look at the feng shui, determine the orientation, determine the foundation of the main hall house, and so on. Whether now or in the future, homestead is only a land use right, not a title of ownership.

After eating, Captain Wu said that there was something at home to go first, and Hong Jianguo gave two bags of big front door and some candy to bring. Secretary Hong and Captain Li continued to chat and play leaf cards at Hong Yan's house. There are melon seeds, cigarettes and cigarettes, and there are some things to do. The leaf brand is called the Sichuan brand locally. Each card is roughly 14.5 centimeters long and 3.5 centimeters wide, and the card is composed of red and black dots or text, and the number of points represents the combination of two dice. Because there are 84 Sichuan cards, the players jokingly call it "learning 84 documents".

Their style of play is relatively simple, that is, "fighting Hu". The cards in your hand are completely made up of several pairs of 14 points, and when you reach the fewest red dots, you will be dead. However, the "earth", "unitary four", and "people" cards are also red two, five, and eight touches to be doubled. Hong Yan is also familiar with the basic style of play, but he rarely practiced it because he went to school. However, in my memory, students who were far away from school actually played cards in the dirt ditch on the way home after school.

It is said that there is a teacher who likes to play cards, sometimes stays up late, does not sleep all night, and actually falls asleep in class during the day. The teacher slept in class, and the students were used to it, but this time, the teacher suddenly shouted happily in his sleep, "Ren Pai, Hu, Sifan". The students are absolutely down! The teacher woke up and looked around blankly.

It is said that all men, women and children in Kawauchi can play leaf cards, which were later replaced by mahjong. Under the shade of a random tree, on the side of the street, the mahjong table is put down and it starts. Some people say that Sichuan people are idle, and they are so idle that they drink tea and play leaf cards all day long. However, Hong Yan knew that after the mid-80s, the countryside began to have a little money, many people got together, pushed pai gow to gamble, young people did not do their jobs, and finding a partner was a problem.

Hong Xuecai and Hong Jianguo were accompanied. The four of them drank a lot of wine, and their heads were a little big. The two oil lamps are turned on, but they are not afraid to see the cards clearly. Hong Jianguo loses more and wins less, and his task today is this.

"Earth, Yunhui said a few days ago that the beams of the primary school were flattened, and the clamshell school also said that it was better to build a kindergarten next to it, at least a preschool class...... Heavenly ...... As you know, the policies of the higher authorities have changed, and the state attaches more importance to knowledge, talents, and education. Children can't be blind and have to go to school...... Red Nine ......"

"...... Brother, I read the newspaper too. The college entrance examination has been resumed, and it will not be a problem to go to university in the future. Alas, I'm actually in a hurry...... Hatchet...... I have counted that one-third of the little dolls who should be enrolled in school this year did not go, and they are basically female dolls...... Long two ......"

Hong Xuecai has nothing to do with himself, and concentrates on playing cards. Hong Jianguo frowned when he heard this. He heard his son say that he didn't have to read a lot of books, he didn't have to go to college, but at least he could read, write letters, know basic calculations, etc., and said that in the future, he would not only have knowledge, but also technology. With technology, he can understand that in this era, in addition to the official family, most of the Yin Shi people are craftsmen.

"There are only two reasons why children are not sent to school: one is the parental concept, it doesn't matter if they don't go to school, they still repair the earth if they don't go to school for generations; Especially think that my daughter will be someone else's family sooner or later, why spend money? Another is that there is really no money, and the word 'poor' in this era is ah! Hong Yan said. He belongs to the "hugging arms", sitting next to watching the cards, sometimes more anxious than playing cards. Of course, he won't be in a hurry, and tonight Dad's mission will lose money.
